Japanese
Cedar
Cryptomeria |
|
Description:
In my opinion, Japanese Cedar is one of the finest evergreens for the landscape.
It's soft, whispy, feathery foliage has nice color in spring, summer, fall and
winter! The only requirement of Cryptomeria is acidic soil and protection from the
drying effect of winter winds. (Pollen causes severe allegy problems.) |
